Name of our Utopian Society

Welcome to Island Get Away!
The name of our utopian society, Island Get Away, represents what we have.  This island is a private and peaceful sanctuary, that is an escape from the ordinary world!  It is a place of relaxation but also a place for adventure.  You can relax on the beach or in the ocean, or you can go hiking into our jungle, or ziplining down into the ocean! Island Get Away is your own resort, where you can stay all the time!

Decleration of Independance

We the people of Island Get away, feel that the world we live in has gone by too fast.  Everyone is always in a rush, hurrying from one appointment to the next, and never takes the time to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.  The world has always forgotten the importance of real friendship and family.  They have forgotten that friends and family are the people there for you in your time of need, and they have forgotten how to build lasting friendships and family relations.  People are so busy rushing around that all they have time to do is send a text message, or chat on a website.  We believe in everyone communicating with each other and discovering how valuable commuinication is. 

We have formed this society as an escape from the everyday life and as a place to return back to our basic values.  We will remember what the rest of the world has forgotten.  Here at Island Get Away we promise to have personal relations with each other, and to have a relaxing and perfect sanctuary to live in.  We believe that we are all equal and that we will all be treated with equality.  We believe in being free in all things, but we also believe in obeying all of our societys laws, knowing that they are there to help and protect us.  We also know that any breaking of these laws is prohibited and punishable.  We believe in respecting all people, animals, and nature.  We believe in being united in every aspect and we will strive to do so, as we build our more perfect society.

Letter to my sister

Dear Rachel,
How are you?  I'm doing so great.  Coming to Island Get Away was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me!  It is so beautiful here with the lush foilage and palm trees, the sand that is so smooth, and warm, and white, and the carribean blue ocean that sparkles like a crystal in the warm sun.  This place is so beautiful and exciting.  There are so many exotic animals here (I sent you some pictures- they are at the bottom) and it's so much fun to take a tour through the jungle and catch a glimpse of all the beautiful creatures that live there.  This is the most calming, and wonderful place I have ever been to.

Another great thing about this island are the people!  They are so kind and generous.  They are always willing to help, and they make such great friends!  The other day I was having a rough time at work, and I felt as though everything was crashing down on top of me, but when I went home that day I found four friends holding cookies and telling me everything was going to turn out okay.  The people here really know how to cheer a person up!  You need to come here and meet them.  I know you would love these people as much as I do.

Rachel, I know you are always looking for a new adventure, so I'm going to tell you some of the exciting things that happen here at Island Get Away.  We have a zipline, (I know- it's way to cool) hiking through a jungle, sponging, (it's a type of boogie boarding) swimming with dolpins, dances, luaus, and so much more! There is never a dull moment when you live at Island Get Away!  We do so many fun things all the time!  Our next luau is coming up soon, Rachel, and there wouldn't be a more perfect time to come and visit!  The luaus are so fun. Everyone dances and sings and has a great time.  You get to meet more people, hang out with friends, and try new and interesting foods!  Our next luau is in about three weeks so I'm planing on seeing you then!  It would be so exciting if you would come and I know that you would love it down here!

I will see you soon,
Love,
your sister

Rules

1. Be your own person- Don’t let others run your life for you while you pretend to be someone that you’re not. We all have different thoughts and emotions so we should put them to use. Learn to love yourself the way you are, then learn to share it with others.
 2. Enjoy life- Do what makes YOU happy. Don’t get caught up in all the chaos, take time to enjoy the simple things in life.
3. No rich or poor- We are all equal, there is no rich and there is no poor. We all earn and pay the same amount of money. 
 4. Earn education- We would like to be able to communicate properly with each other, and be able to get any kind of job that comes our way. And most importantly just to be successful in life. 
 5. No violence- Violence is simply prohibited. We would like to treat everyone like family and not have to worry about something happening all the time. 
 6. Respect others- To receive respect one must give it. In our society we treat everyone with respect, no matter the age or gender. It encourages kindness, trust, and honor. Without respect our society would fall apart.
 7. State opinion- If no one shared their opinion our world would be a total mess. It’s important that we share our thoughts to help make our society a better place, and to show our originality. 
 8. Don’t judge others- Everyone is their own person, we should not judge a book by it’s cover. Get to know someone before you make judgments about them. 
 9. Be responsible- Take responsibility for your actions. Make sure you are doing what you are supposed to be doing. If everyone is responsible then we won’t have as many problems to deal with which will make our society a better place. 
 10. Take action- Don’t wait for someone else to speak up, don’t be afraid to speak your mind. Be a leader instead of a follower. Our society won’t get anywhere unless someone, or everyone takes action.

Motto and Seal

Our utopian motto is
Learn from yesterday, live for today, and hope for tommorow
This motto represents what we believe here at our utopia.  We believe that all things happen for a reason, and that there is always room to learn and grow from past experiences.  We also believe that we should live in the moment and always be accepting of what has been placed before us.  Our final belief is that we need to hope for tommorow.  We all need to have good dreams and goals, and then we need to do all we can to accomplish those dreams.
Live Life to the Fullest
The seal we chose is the dolphin, which is our utopian animal, jumping over the words live life to the fullest.  To us, this seal represents freedom and harmony.  It symbolizes that we need to slow down and enjoy the things in life, but we also need to embrace change and try new and unexpected things.
